[Smithy]

You can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this. The way I would write it, how I would feel thereafter. Well, not entirely sure why now is the right time, and what it is that feels exciting and liberating for me to talk. I cannot explain it. Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why. A journalist contacted me, he found a way to reach me and I told him everything this past summer. He was kind and it felt so amazing to finally speak. The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days. Of course I survived. The recovery took time. There’s no light way to say it. But I can tell you in the last decade, the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine. You wonder why I did not choose to use my voice to express my pain? I did not want to show the world the sadness in my eyes. I asked myself, how can I sing from the heart if it is broken? And slowly it unbroke. In the following weeks I will be posting a spoken interview. If you have any questions I would like to answer them, in the spoken interview, if I can. I have a sacred love and sincere appreciation for your kindness over the years. You have been friends. I want to thank you for that x

Please respect this is a gentle move for me to make, for myself, and I do not want any intrusion to my family. Please support me to make this a positive experience.

[Ammi]

[Elliot]

[LeatherTrumpet]

this drugging thing is a menace

[LaLaLand]

Omg how terrifying. Poor Duffy! She was poised to be such a megastar then just sort of vanished and always wondered why. Man

[Liam-]

Oh Jesus, bless her

[Kizzy]

Oh no! I love Duffy I was thinking of her the other day too!! What a horrible thing, I wonder where she was? Or how she got away?

[Jake.]

[Mystic Mock]

****ing hell, she had an amazing voice in her prime.

Hopefully she's doing okay.

[GoldHeart]

Duffy the singer?!???? Wtf , i use to like her music.

Horrific story but something about posting it on Instagram with this level of detail and no apparent contact with the police is a bit... weird.

I guess after Jussie Smollett I fear the worst in celebrities :/

[bitontheslide]

it's a very disturbing story and I wish her well. I hope the appropriate authorities investigate now.

...this is being reported in so many media sources this morning, it was on the radio earlier...I’m not sure that her no intrusion request will be something that she’ll see feasibly happen, sadly.....

[Cherie]

She disappeared really quickly, poor woman, I wish her well

Hmmm I get what you mean but why would she choose to suddenly lie now?

''Duffy, who had not posted anything on IG since 2017, doesn't lay out exactly when the crime happened or where. But, it sounds like more details will be coming shortly.''

[Toy Soldier]

It doesn't say it wasn't handled by the police - it may be that it was just successfully kept out of the press (rare for celebrities, but it does happen).

[Livia]

Ten years ago... she's gone all that time... I hope she's had good friends and family around her.

[GoldHeart]

I wondered what happened to her when she disappeared out the limelight, but I'm now thinking how did this happen ??. This is horrific .
